Ok so the attempt at a fanfare was kind of terrible... but I figured it was appropriate for this blog to give it it's own special entrance. Lol. This is going to be a blog about my life, so for anyone who's not really interested, feel free to turn back now :P

So this has been an interesting week for me. For those of you who are reading this, you may already be aware of my pending promotion at Gamestop. As of yesterday my promotion is no longer pending; I am now the new Senior Game Advisor (Supervisor, second only to the manager and assistant manager) in my store! I'm making $1.50 more an hour than I made two days ago, and I now have keys to allow me access anywhere in the store except the safe, and a couple other places. It will now be my responsibility to open and close the store, count the right deposit and deliver it to the bank, and perform other managerial duties. This is a little nerve wracking, as I've never held a position of such power before..... the power is nice, but I'm also responsible if something goes wrong, which kind of sucks. We'll be hiring new people soon, as we are low on standard Game Advisors, and I'll be training at least some of them. I'm also going to be low on free time now, as I'm going to be working 5 days a week. This adds up to 40 hours at Gamestop, and 25 or so at my tech school. Suddenly days off are going to be very precious! Part of me rails against the loss of free time, but I need the money, and it looks good on a resume.

In some sad news, I have a week to spend with my girlfriend before she goes back to college. :(

Alicia and I have been together for just under 4 1/2 years, since we were both in High School. I love her very much, and intend on making a fairly important purchase when I can afford it (hint hint.... part of why money is so important!). I love spending time with her, and during her school year she and I don't get to see each other as much. She goes to Boston University in Massachusetts, and I'm in Connecticut. I spent a nice summer with her, and it's going to be sad to see her go.

Also I finish up my tech school in about 6 weeks! I'm excited to finish up and get my diploma, as it will be the first school I'll have finished since graduating from high school! I'm studying computers, and with the American Economy being kind of shaky right now, "IT" (Information Technology) is a good field to be in because it is always in demand. I had an interview earlier this week for a career oriented IT job, and it seemed to go well. I think they want to hire me, but they said it would be best to finish school first. So hopefully when I finish school I'll be able to work there, especially because it will be a good starting point for my career, and I have friends working there already. Once this progresses, I'll have another blog to write for you!

And finally, the gaming aspect of my life. My 360 is being sent out for repairs, which is torture of a sort because I'm addicted to gaming, especially to my 360! So while I wait for it to be returned to me in working condition, pining for all the new games coming out (Stay tuned for my NEXT blog sometime during the weekend on new games!) I'm sticking with my DS and my PSP (as my gf has annexed my PS2!). So last night I picked up Disgaea for my PSP. I'm big into Tactical RPGs, and although this looks to be a complicated game, I'm kind of excited to play it. I also got a free strategy guide for it (ah the perks of my job :P ) so even if I'm having a little bit of trouble, I can always fall back on the guide!

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed my blog! As I said during the weekend I'll blog about the new games I'm excited about :D
